Gold prices extended gains on Wednesday, supported by a softer dollar and falling Treasury yields following the U.S. midterm election results. The precious metal benefited from reduced political uncertainty and improved risk sentiment among investors. Market analysts noted that the post-election environment provided a favorable backdrop for safe-haven assets, with gold breaking key technical resistance levels.
Trading volumes remained active as participants repositioned portfolios ahead of upcoming Federal Reserve meetings. The rally came amid expectations of more moderate monetary policy tightening in the coming quarters.
